Are you using a recent version of Cygwin with the new X.org X server? If 
so make sure and install the XFree86 compatibility package (it is not done 
by default). What exactly is the problem?

rm -rf /usr/local/grass5
rm /usr/local/bin/grass5
check paths carefully but that should be all there is to it.

Some notes here:
http://www.geog.uni-hannover.de/grass/grass53/binary/mswindows_cygwin/
and also item 1 here:
http://www.geog.uni-hannover.de/grass/grass50/binary/windows_cygnus/cygwin_grass50bininstall.html
has the list of Cygwin packages you need to install, which is important.
